# Chapter 674: World Government Military System Reform Plan in Marine Calendar 1502
"Hmm."
Facing Garp's question and the piercing gazes of Newgate, Kaido, Sakazuki, and others, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn rubbed the black Scabbard of the Shodai Kitetsu in his hand and pondered.
After a moment, he raised his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Undoubtedly, Lord Imu's Strength is indeed one level higher than ours."
As expected!!
The Hot Blood within these Admiral Level Powerhouses present quickly boiled.
However, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's subsequent words quickly cooled their mood.
"But This Old Man also doesn't Understand if we can reach the level Lord Imu is at, and if we can, how we should do it. These Matters still need to be requested for guidance. You just need to wait patiently."
Garp, Kaido, and the others were naturally dissatisfied with this answer.
But constrained by Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's Identity, they couldn't press further and could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly.
At the same time, they hoped in their hearts that the other party would keep his word and let Lord Imu give them some Guidance on the Direction to continue advancing as soon as possible.
But what they didn't know was that, as a powerful Swordsman, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was actually deeply attracted by this question as well.
Therefore, he decided to use Garp's request this time as a reason to go back and ask Lord Imu if a Method to advance to the next level could be bestowed.
Even though he didn't hold much Hope for this in his Heart.
Putting himself in their shoes, if it were him, would he Hope that the Strength of his subordinates would approach his own or reach the Same Rank as him?
He wouldn't.
But he still had to try. After all, as a martial artist, as a Swordsman, the Pursuit of greater Strength was his Nature and could not be Given up!
"Cough cough."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn restrained his somewhat wandering thoughts, then coughed twice to organize his train of thought, also hinting that he was about to change the topic.
"The reason I convened you here this time, besides revealing Lord Imu's Matter to you, is also about several Plans that are prepared to be implemented starting next year."
After speaking, without waiting for Sengoku and the others to think too much, he instructed Kong beside him, "From now on, you will preside. This Old Man will go back first."
"Okay!"
Kong nodded. As the Commander-in-Chief, this was one of his primary duties.
A moment later.
After Saint Jaygarcia Saturn left the Meeting Room, which was furnished with a White Long Table and had brilliant Crystal Lamps hanging above it, Kong stood Up and naturally sat in the main seat.
By the way, he took out a Video Den Den Mushi that had been adjusted to 'Slideshow Mode' from his chest and placed it on the Tabletop.
The next second.
The lights in the Meeting Room automatically dimmed, and the Den Den Mushi immediately followed by projecting bright Light from its eye, forming a Virtual Image Screen in Mid-air that could be viewed from multiple angles.
World Government Military System Reform Plan: Military Rank Adjustment Details
World Government Military System Reform Plan: New Merits and Honors Commendation System
World Government Military System Reform Plan: Three-Year Combat Power Assessment Outline
Soon, these three lines of Headlines, written in bold black font, appeared before the eyes of all the Big Shots. This caused those who understood to frown, and those who didn't Understand also frowned.
Only the completely indifferent Borsalino sat with his legs crossed, glanced at it, and continued studying his fingers.
"These are the contents of the reform that our Supreme Military Command will implement simultaneously next year."
Kong got straight to the point without wasting words.
At the same time, he pressed a button on the side of the Den Den Mushi with his Right Hand, switching to the next Screen Feed.
It was precisely about the specific content of the World Government Military System Reform Plan: Military Rank Adjustment Details.
Sengoku, Zephyr, and the others swept their gaze over the large sections of explanatory Writing at the beginning, then focused their Attention on the new Military Rank table.
[Fleet Admiral]
[Admiral, Admiral, Vice Admiral, Rear Admiral]
[Commodore]
[Senior Colonel, Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major]
[Captain, First Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant, Warrant Officer]
[Staff Sergeant, Sergeant, Corporal]
[Private First Class, Private, Private]
"Huh----"
Garp looked at the Mid-air in surprise and said, "An Admiral and a Senior Colonel have been added?!"
"That's right."
Kong nodded and said, "Given the development Pace of one Star Gate per year and one Otherworld per year in the Future, we need to add more Military Ranks for the Troops and simultaneously adjust the Combat level of the holders of each Military Rank."
"Take the Military Rank of Vice Admiral for example. Everyone present knows that the Strength of some Vice Admirals, although they haven't reached Admiral Level Combat Power, far exceed other Vice Admirals."
"Before, there was even one Bastard who had long reached Admiral Level Combat Power yet stubbornly stayed in the Vice Admiral Rank and refused to move."
The moment the last sentence appeared, everyone's Gaze simultaneously glanced towards Garp, who already had a string of Black Lines above his head.
This made the latter immediately pout, leaning back in his chair, and begin picking his large nostril with his pinky finger.
He wore a shameless appearance that said, 'Say whatever you want, I didn't hear it anyway, and even if I heard it, it definitely has nothing to do with me.'
"Humph~"
Kong gave a cold snort, no longer looked at the other party, and continued speaking, "Therefore, this Admiral Military Rank is prepared for those Vice Admirals with exceptional Strength."
Sengoku, Tsuru, Zephyr, and the others nodded thoughtfully to show approval.
"Minister Kong, I have a few questions."
Seeing that it was Sengoku speaking, Kong was not surprised and revealed a gentle Smile, "Go ahead and ask."
"Firstly, since this is a Military Rank table, may I ask why there is still a Fleet Admiral above Admiral?"
The reason Sengoku asked this was because currently, whether it was him, a Marshal of the Three Forces, or Kong, a Commander-in-Chief of a higher Rank, they all in fact held the Admiral Rank.
To put it bluntly, Fleet Admiral was just a Position.
Only heard Kong reply, "That's right. From now on, besides being a Position, Fleet Admiral will also be the Highest Level Military Rank in the Military. Admirals must accept the Orders of the Fleet Admirals of each Military Branch!"
Why did he emphasize the word 'must'?
Because currently, Admirals are in a state of semi-acceptance regarding the Orders of Fleet Admirals. Military Regulations do not explicitly stipulate that Fleet Admirals have absolute Command Authority over Admirals.
The reason is naturally still because both sides' Military Ranks are of the Same Rank.
As expected.
People who realized these changes, such as Garp, Kuzan, Borsalino, and Kaido, all revealed unhappy Expressions, while Sakazuki appeared very calm.
As for Edward Newgate, he is an Honorary Admiral, so it didn't have much to do with him.
And Sengoku, as a Fleet Admiral, naturally strongly supported this Reform. Marshal Raymond opposite even more so revealed an undisguised expression of Delight.
"Then why is Commodore listed separately?"
Kong replied again.
"Because from now on, by accumulating Merits, one can only reach Commodore at most."
"Subsequent Promotions require meeting specific Conditions, such as the actual Combat level. If met, it is possible to be directly promoted to Rear Admiral. This aspect involves the 'Three-Year Combat Power Assessment Outline', which will be explained in detail later."
Big Shot Readers who have subscribed, if possible, could you help make up for it? It's already the end of the year. Please help boost the average subscription and new subscriptions for this book. So that Little Author's manuscript fee can be a little more this month. Even being able to buy one more carton of eggs would be good~~
